Το τρανσέξουαλ μοντέλο που γίνεται εξώφυλλο στο Playboy

Η Τζίνα Ροσέρο, είναι ένα 35χρονο σουπερμόντελ με καταγωγή από τις Φιλιππίνες, που έγραψε ιστορία καθώς έγινε η πρώτη τρανσέξουάλ Playmate ατα νησιά του Ασιατικού Ειρηνικού.

Η Ρoσέρο ανακαλύφθηκε από έναν φωτογράφο μόδας σε ένα εστιατόριο στην κάτω ανατολική πλευρά του Μανχάταν της Νέας Υόρκης όταν ήταν 21 ετών. Πέρασε το κατώφλι του NEXT Model Management. Εχει κάνει σημαντικές συνεργασίες και έχει αποσπάσει βραβεία σε πολλούς διεθνείς διαγωνισμούς.

Η Ροσέρο είναι ένα από τα πιο γνωστά μοντέλα στις ΗΠΑ, έχοντας απορρίψει και προτάσεις για κινηματογραφικές παραγωγές, ωστόσο η φήμη της εκτοξεύτηκε στα ύψη μετά την αποκάλυψη πως θα είναι εξώφυλλο στο Playboy του Αυγούστου 2019.

Η Ροσέρο φιλοξενείται στις σελίδες του πασίγνωστου περιοδικού σε μια ενότητα αφιερωμένη στο φύλο και τη σεξουαλικότητα, όπου και συζητά για τα πρότυπα των τρανσέξουαλ, το φεμινισμό και τα κρυφά της ταλέντα.

Η ίδια μετά τη στέψη της, δήλωσε ότι νιώθει πως «ανοίγει το δρόμο σε όποιον θέλει να κατακτήσει τα πιο μεγάλα του όνειρα».

«Ελπίζω επίσης για όποιον θεωρείται “διαφορετικός” να ξέρει ότι αυτό που σε κάνει διαφορετικό, είναι η δύναμή σου, και ιδιαίτερα η χωρίς μετάνοια έκφραση της σεξουαλικότητάς σου, του φύλου και της αξίας της μοναδικής σου οπτικής», πρόσθεσε.

Σημειώνεται ότι η Ροσέρο είναι το δεύτερο τρανσέξουαλ μοντέλο που θα γίνει εξώφυλλο στο Playboy, καθώς το πρώτο τρανσέξουαλ μοντέλο που φωτογραφήθηκε για λογαριασμού του θρυλικού περιοδικού ήταν η Ινες Ρο από τη Μεγάλη Βρετανία.

@elleusa “For me, two big intersections—being a proud, transgender woman of color and an immigrant, and being a proud Filipina—all of these things I bring into the work that I do because it provides me a sense of pride and healing. For so long, it was dictated to me that all those identities—trans, immigrant, Filipina—were not represented. I wanted to do my part in making an impact”.

I’m Beyond PROUD to share the news and be the First Trans Asian Pacific Islander @Playboy Playmate! Growing up in a very conservative, Catholic patriarchy, I was made to feel ashamed about my relationship with my body. It took many years to unpack the shame ridden beliefs of my gender and sexuality. Moving to NYC to pursue my modeling career presented a much more difficult cultural context. At that time, there was not an ‘out’ trans identified fashion model so I made the decision to hide my personal journey in order to survive. After years of being a successful model, my depression and the paranoia of being ‘Outed’ grew larger every day. The shame that I felt about my transness limited the expression of my full self, my ideas and dreams. I decided to share my story for the first time at @Ted Conference, in order to free myself. This Playboy Playmate honor is another moment that I will never forget. I will always know that expressing my unapologetic love for my self, my body, my vulnerability, my journey, my dreams and my hustle is my ultimate power! I remember seeing Caroline Cossey (Tula) on the cover of Playboy, I told myself that one day I want to be like her. To now be a part of the ICONIC Playboy Family is a definite pinch me moment, as I think of that little Trans Filipina who grew up in the little alleys of Manila. Woah!!!! Thank you to all the trans models who paved the way for me @carolinecossey , @cnngrldsgn , Lea Super Sireyna, @thelaurenfoster , @crimsonaamistad , @therealtraceyafrica and to my Playmate sis @supa_ines , bisous mon amour . Keep Dreaming, Keep Loving, Keep Hustling! Massive love to photographer @wiissa0 HMU @yomatisse , the whole Playboy Fam for the magical shoot in Costa Rica! @Playboy Magazine available in newsstands and digital download on June 18! Tag me when you get your copies
